Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales

"Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales" by Juliana Horatia Ewing is a treasury of original fairy stories that transport readers to a world where virtue and morality intertwine with magical whimsy. Crafted in the late 1800s, these tales embrace challenges from classic stories but venture into uncharted territories, inviting us to explore the depths of the human experience. From farmers blessed with good luck to protagonists grappling with moral dilemmas, each narrative imparts timeless lessons wrapped in fantastic adventures. Ewing’s collection isn't a stroll down a familiar path, but a journey into original landscapes where the value of good fortune is placed far above the lure of gold. The author weaves fresh stories with the common threads of global myths and the wisdom of life that all children should know.
